Nuclear Energy: Is there a future after Fukushima?

Oct 29, 2012
Aris Candris
The future of the global nuclear energy industry, while certainly not without its challenges, remains vibrant. Even as the industry contends with near-record-low natural gas prices and the accident at Fukushima Daiichi, the reality is that global demand for electricity and concern over carbon...

Chemistry and Energy: Fortifying Our Historic Links

Oct 29, 2012
Gregory Babe
Centuries ago, early ideas were formulating that would advance the science of organic chemistry. Since its beginnings, there have been many organic chemistry milestones. They include in 1856, the discovery of a purple dye which helped usher in the modern organic chemistry industry. Henry Perkin, a...

Comparative Advantage - North American Manufacturing and the Shale Gas Century

Oct 29, 2012
David Porges
Over the long term, there are two fundamentals in North America's natural gas markets: 1. Supply will remain robust; and 2. Price will remain moderate and stable. This new-found, but likely durable, situation provides many opportunities to resuscitate the petrochemical industry in North America...

Modeling the Dynamics of the Film Coating Operation for Pharmaceutical Tablets

Oct 29, 2012
Salvador García-Muñoz
Previous work in understanding the thermodynamics of the film coating operation has focused mainly around the pseudo-steady state reached between the drying air and the cooling effect from the evaporation of the spraying solution [1]. The work presented here aims to mathematically describe the time...

An Overview of the Global Desalination Situation

Oct 29, 2012
Isabel C. Escobar
According to the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), one in three people globally endures some form of water scarcity, one-quarter of the world's population lives in areas where water is physically scarce, and over a billion people live where water is economically scarce. Existing...

Scale-up of SAPO-34 Membranes for CO2/CH4 Separation

Oct 29, 2012
Richard D. Noble
SAPO-34 membranes have pores with a diameter of approximately 0.38 nm and have the potential to be used for large scale removal of CO 2 impurities from natural gas. Tubular SAPO-34 membranes have been shown previously to have high permeances and selectivities at high pressures, so that CO 2 can be...

Oct 29, 2012
Vincent Vilker
New Challenges and Opportunities for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Science Vincent L Vilker and Mansoor A Khan, CDER/FDA The increasing sophistication of modern drug products is leading to unprecedented challenges and opportunities for pharmaceutical manufacturing. At the same time, scientific and...

The Mixed Matrix Membrane Story

Oct 29, 2012
Santi Kulprathipanja
The talk will highlight the evolution of Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMM), developed in the mid-1980s. The talk will first provide an introduction into the strategic thinking that led to the development of the water stable adsorbent ADS-200. ADS-200 is a cellulose acetate bound zeolite used in the...

Optimal Plant Operation of Industrial Reverse Osmosis Desalination

Oct 29, 2012
Mingheng Li
A comprehensive first-principles based mathematical model, which explicitly accounts for membrane hydraulic permeability, pump characteristic curves and retentate pressure drop, is developed to describe the reverse osmosis desalination process. Parameters used in the model are derived from data...

Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Materials and Membranes for Molecular Separations

Oct 29, 2012
Sankar Nair
This talk will describe our recent progress in the synthesis and processing of MOF/ZIF materials for molecular separation applications, and their subsequent use in the fabrication of membrane/thin film devices for such uses. New separations technology is key to increased energy efficiency in the...

Looking to the Future in Continuous Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Oct 29, 2012
Richard D. Braatz
This presentation describes the motivations, challenges, and opportunities in continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing. Some of the motivations are particularly intriguing, such as semicontinuous and continuous-flow unit operations that have the potential to have order-of-magnitude higher...

Critically Thinking About Critical Thinking

AIChE Webinar
Oct 24, 2012
Greg Shaffer, Melissa Collins

Have you ever examined another person's solution to a problem and found yourself frustrated and asking yourself "What were they thinking?" when you realize that the person's actions actually compounded the problem rather than solving it. In this webinar, the presenters will first define the problem and then discuss why critical thinking skills are so important in the workforce.
